All about Windows Live Messenger, providing news, reviews, support, and information for developing and improving your Messenger experience.
And as the initiative keeps chugging along, the donation total now stands at $1,698,090 million spread to the various causes involved. Remember you can be involved by spreading it to your friends via your hotmail and more recently your facebook account via Invite2Messenger which will go step by step on how to help.
You can even create your own free muggin with the I’M message for Windows Live Messenger just by registering yourself to the cause. Lets get it to $2million!
Following up on my last post about the updated sendMsg script, I have another update available.
This update will now catch error 800 from the server. The server imposes a limit of creating 8 IM sessions in any 60 second period and will throw this error if you try calling createSession a 9th time. As such, the script is not suited for sending messages to more than 8 contacts in the same login session. All other changes are programming improvements.
This will be the final update for a while, if there are any major bugs reported I will fix them, otherwise consider this stable.
Download and check out Troubleshooting phpListGrab if you are having connecting problems (phpListGrab uses the same code base). I will also be posting more troubleshooting information for other problems I have recently discovered with server configuration compatibility.
The script I created over two years ago to send a message using PHP has gained quite a lot of exposure over the last few months, and a common request I have been getting is the ability to send messages to more than one user.
Over the weekend I modified the class with the following changes:
There is a new version of MemSkin+ up at the download page. This version has support for skin reloading in Windows Live Messenger 8.1.
Hopefully from here on out the skin reloading should not need to be updated for each Messenger build.
On a separate note, now that Messenger Plus! Live 4.10 has been released, you can use MemSkin+ and MsgPlus at the same time with no problems.
A big thank you to Rolando and the guys behind Mess Patch - TabServe is now compatible with Windows Live Messenger!
Mess Patch Generation 5 has just been released and now integrates patching capabilities for TabServe. The official patch for TabServe only works with MSN Messenger and I have never got around to updating it, so I was very pleased when Rolando proposed the integration. I hope to make a few final adjustments to the TabServe service for further Windows Live Messenger support before the end of the year.
Mess Patch is from now on the official patch for TabServe on Windows Live Messenger, the MSN Messenger patch will remain for legacy purposes.
Head over to Mess with Messenger and download Mess Patch Generation 5 for your version. The TabServe part is the fourth section in the patch, so if you are not interested in the other patch options you can simply just skip past them.
